The Sims 3 Guide - Sunset Valley

Secrets

Here are some hints, tips and secrets that you may not otherwise have known about Sunset Valley.

Graveyard secrets: At the Pleasant Rest Graveyard, there is plenty to see and do.

Firstly, the catacombs underneath the lot is filled with ghosts, ghouls and is not for the faint-hearted Sim. Still worth a visit though! You may also come across a Mysterious Mr. Gnome! You also get some great items from it, and some humorous choices to make in the meantime.

If you turn up at night, ghosts will be roaming the graveyard. You can move gravestones from where a Sim dies, such as a family member in your house, to the Pleasant Rest Graveyard to stop them from pestering your Sims at home (and messing up your appliances!). You can then visit them there. Look out for the graves of Sims you once knew in the cemetery, and their ghosts! Some Sims have a desire to see a ghost.

Entering the catacombs at the graveyard. You'll have to find out what happens inside for yourself!

Use the Papyrus Memorial Library to learn as well as relax. In addition to all the educational books, there is also a computer and the slightly less education play room mentioned above.

If you follow the military career, you receive special interactions with Fort Gnome Military Base. You can also show dates and friends around, which may or may not impress them.

If you follow the criminal career line, your house will never be robbed.

On the beach, Sims can interact with the icebox to serve food and drinks to friends.

Start a beach party!

Sunset Valley contains many collectibles, in addition to all the books, household objects and other items more closely associated with everyday life. These include the Robot Fish and Vampire Fish, as well as the iconic Mysterious Mr. Gnomes. More details on possible locations for these are below.

[spoiler][/spoiler] look up on youtube realestate cheat for sims 3. Im pretty sure it works its when you get a free house. But, first you have to have on 'teatsunabledtrue' onthen pick a house. Hope it works good luck guys!

Go to the appliance section then pick the tri forge stove...keep cooking till you reach 10...Your SIM will get tired but BUY the best coffee maker ( small appliance) espresso xti_french beverage maker....click on to maker and choose make beverages....saves time....I always play on puppet. .that way you have full control of you SIM....when you reach level 10 Go to the bookstore....choose the bakers hat and buy recipe books and learn all the recipes....if you want a great fridge.. after learning all recipes....join the cooking or culinary career at either CHEZ FRANCOIS or RUSTIC CRUST BAKERY.....IF YOU DONT HAVE money to buy the books....it will take longer....but make friends with Cevin and Vasquez..can't remember her fist name....meet with both in mornings and evenings and SHARE COOKING SECRETS. Found in the social content...

You mostly get the mysterious gnome by fishing..I've found him mostly at the fishing pond across the street from penny and Trevor house(usually one of the first houses you can purchase at the start of the game) or the funshi garden pond...usually the better Fisherman you are the better....I've used him around the house but haven't noticed anything but him changing locations...if you put him in the barhroom for decorations. .. for instance....you may find him in the kitchen or outside...

Thanks for all these helpful cheats and comments! you have really made my little sister happy! is there and one that knows how to get to the top of a skill like cooking or guitar? it would really help! thanx !

if u guys want LOSTS life time happiness? then all u gotta do is go 2 main menu type, in "testingcheatsenabled true" and then choose your family and then go to ur sims life time happiness pannel and you you see a small tresure chest and the number of life time happiness points that u have. hold ctrl and then press inbetween the tresure chest and the number and TADA!!! you get 500 happiness points!!! (u can click as much as u like!)

If you want to pick the gender of a baby before its born have your pregnant sim eat 3 apples for a boy or 3 watermelons for a girl. Also without using cheats you can still force twins- listen to the kids music and watch cartoons in the same room with a pregnant sim. I'm not sure exactly how long it takes but I usually do it for a long while.

If you really want a lot of money type familyfunds (space) your families last name (space) then the amount of money you want then you get that amount. Highest it goes up to is 999,999,999,999. P.S only works if you have the cheat testingcheatsenabled true on.

I was honestly looking for a guide of Sunset valleys story secret. like the little story it talks about when you start a new game? yeah. I already knew ALL this stuff from other guides. Maybe you should find out the STORY secret. Not the exploration "secrets". Please. That would REALLY be great.

Some of the cheats I know are:allskill- makes your cooking skill level 10CareerBungee- gives you careers such as teacher, firefighter etcI haven't tried them because my mom took my laptopHope these work!!!!! ;)

a secret to get ur dog or cat posess and make only him or her like you well first adopt a kid a todler and then posses the cat or dog then kill the tolder like make her or him starve to death then there you goo!

When I first enter Sunset Valley, but before I choose my family, I do Ctrl*Shift*C to get the cheat box. Next I enter "testingcheatsenabled true" and press enter. Then I load the family I want to play. As soon as my family is loaded I use Ctrl*Shift*C to get another cheat box, then I type whatever cheat I want, for example I may type "familyfunds Goth 10000000" when I press enter the Goth family is $10,000,000 richer. Or I'll type "unlockoutfits on" and I have access to all my old work clothes. Or I type "moveobjects on" and I can combine a floor lamp and an end table to make an old fashioned lamp table like my Grandma used to have. The possibilities are endless. Since all the kids either tire easily, or they have a curfew to consider, I make a divided pond (one for fresh water and one for saltwater) in my yard, then I use the "buydebug" cheat and place the rarest fresh and saltwater fish in my ponds. I also put the rarest insects, gems, metals and plants around my yard. To help all my Sims progress faster, I click on the mailbox then choose the "make everyone happy" option. The kids can fish or paint or play all night if they want and still be fresh and happy for school the next day. For all my rich Sims I place my alarms on the corners of the outside of my house, or on a gatepost so criminals may come by but they never get farther than the front door or the foyer of my home. Since I began taking these precautions I've never been robbed despite numerous attempts. I hope I've been able to help someone with these tips. If not, please accept my apologies.

For more money u can also do ctrl-shift-c then type in kaching it gives you a little money and if u just wanna have fun do ctrl-shift-c then type in jokeplease in the box and it will give you a joke. Also is the rock with the alien drawing in sunset valley or riverview? By the way riverview is free.- Sk8r

Thanks guys, this was helpful in some ways i guess, just in case some of you dont or may not know that when you use the cheat "testingcheatsenabled true" if you hold shift and click on for example the mail box you'll get alot of different objects. you can also hold shift and then click on one of ur sims to change their traits or even what music they like, or make them older.

if you want to be a celebrity in bridgeport press ctrl+shift+c all in the same time and type in testingcheatsenabled on and press enter. once you did that holde shift while clicking your mailbox and press make me know everyone and once you did that go to you relationships and find a person that is a celebrity and drag its friend status to bestfriend the highest friend capacity.......

i just installed the world adventures expansion pack but i previously had two sims i was using. i was able to still use them but when i traveled to china i couldnt see my family or relationships. my family tree use to have alot of people but when i checked in china i saw only one picture of my sim. then wben i went back home there was a playable duplicate of that sim so i now had three sims to play. the duplicate sim and the original both didnt have anyone on their family tree and i couldnt switch households. i tried many times i even reset the sim but nothing worked. so i deleted my entire file that i'd been working on for years and now im not sure if i should travel anymore so there arent any problems but i still want travel. Please help!

My Sim cannot open the refrigerator to make meals. When I go to it, it shows that there is food but will not prepare meals or have a quick meal. I am not sure why? I do not have a dead Sim ghost, so that cannot be the reason? Please help!
